Should I stop this immediately....

[SpecialKR4]

I've posted before about one side effect that I was having when my Dr. switched me from Necon to Aviane. I had some odor when I first started that I was concerned about....well that is the least of my worries now.

Since the change I've gained 15 lbs, gone up a cup size, have headaches, fatigue and acne at my hairline from one eye to the other across my forehead. My mood swings are a little nutty (made worse now because of the weight gain) and my period now comes 3 days later than it used too.

My Dr. told me I had to give it 3 months before I could switch again and that I would have to come to see her first, but the side effects are not subsiding as time goes by they are getting worse. Clothes that fit two weeks ago no longer fit.

Should I stop taking this pill now or wait until the 3 months are up. I'm afraid that if I wait any longer the weight gain will get worse, along with the acne.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

GENERALLY the side effects don't get worse after the first month. And if you quit taking it then start taking something different in a couple months you are going to screw up your hormones kinda bad and that could make the mood swings first. Also if you don't take it you will have to use a second form of b/c till a month after you start taking it again. If those are risks you are willing to take and you don't feel you can deal with the side effects for the time being I would say go to the store, buy some condoms and quit taking the pill.
